Medical - Medical (general) / Breast cancer brochure
Arabic term or phrase: السرطان الانبثاثي
Up to this point they list all the breast cancers one can think of - common and rare - and I had no problem finding the English equivalents. This one seems a mistake, isn't it? What is the right word?

Thank you.

transient cells cancer


Explanation:
I happen to know this because some years ago I had a transient cells cancer in the bladder that, luckily, was diagnosed very early and was successfully treated.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Moshin. First of all, I'm happy that the disease was diagnosed early enough and that you are well and happy! Second, I found that the term is probably best translated as "Metastatic Breast Cancer", which I think is similar to what you said. It says in the document - يحدث السرطان الانبثاثي عندما تنفصل خلايا السرطان من الورم الموجود بالثدي وتنتشر الى اجزاء اخرى من الجسم. واكثر الاماكن عرضة لانتقال سرطان الثدي الانبثاثي هي العقد الليمفاوية والرئتين والكبد والعظام والمخ If you look in Wikipedia, you see that it matches. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metastatic_breast_cancer Again - thanks for your help, and I wish you many years of good health.
